performance for the same Modulation, Coding,
and Channel BW as HSPA Rel-8
Mobile WiMAX Rel 1.5 has >2 times better peak
UL performance
HSPA+ is constrained to 2 x 5 MHz channels in
traditional 3G spectrum assignments
Mobile WiMAX Rel 1.5 supports channel BWs up
to 20 MHz, FDD and TDD, and has planned
profiles in 700, 1700, 2300, 2500, & 3500 MHz
frequency bands
Mobile WiMAX provides a flat all-IP e2e network
Copyright 2009 WiMAX Forum. All rights reserved
3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE)
• 3GPP (LTE) is Adopting:
– OFDMA in DL with 64QAM
– All IP e2e Network
– Channel BWs up to 20 MHz
– Both TDD and FDD profiles
– Flexible Access Network
– Advanced Antenna Technologies
– UL: Single-Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), (64QAM optional)
• LTE is adopting technology & features already
available with Mobile WiMAX
– Can expect similar long-term performance benefits and
trade-offs

LTE: Not a Simple 3G Upgrade
• LTE Represents a Major Upgrade from
CDMA-Based HSPA (or EV-DO)
– No longer a “simple” SW upgrade:
• CDMA to OFDMA, represent different technologies
• Circuit switched to IP e2e network
– Also requires new spectrum to take full
advantage of wider channel BWs and …
– Requires dual-mode user devices for
seamless internetwork connectivity

Further Performance Enhancements
Planned for Mobile WiMAX Release 2.0
• Release 2.0 is based on the IEEE 802.16m System Requirements
Document
• 802.16m Mirrors IMT-Advanced Requirements
– Key Performance Targets are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased DL peak channel & user data rate
Increased UL peak channel & user data rate
2x DL spectral efficiency of Release 1.0 (2.6 bps/Hz)
2x cell-edge DL user throughput of Release 1.0 (0.09 bps/Hz)
2x UL spectral efficiency of Release 1.0 (1.3 bps/Hz)
2x cell-edge UL user throughput of Release 1.0 (0.05 bps/Hz)
Reduction of the connection setup, RAN delay, & handover interruption time
>60 concurrent sessions per MHz per sector for the AMR 12.2 kbps speech
codec
• Multi-Carrier support for contiguous or non-contiguous channels (up to 100
MHz operating BW with band aggregation)
• Mobility support up to 500 km/hr
• Mobile WiMAX Rel 2.0 is backwards compatible with Rel 1.5 and Rel 1.0

Other Deployment Considerations
• Mobile WiMAX has significant time-to-market
advantage
– 100+ Certified client devices by year-end 2008
– 1000+ Certified client devices expected by 2011
– WiMAX Rel 1.0 being deployed today, LTE specification
not expected until end of 2008
• WiMAX has friendly Intellectual Property Environment
– IPR distributed amongst many companies, not just a few
– Open patent alliance established
– Lower costs for WiMAX/WiFi client devices
• Mobile WiMAX provides a simple, all-IP flat network,
with all IETF protocols
– LTE network is a more complex multi-layer network
burdened with proprietary 3G cellular protocols

Summary and Conclusion
Mobile WiMAX and LTE are both accepted as candidates to meet IMTAdvanced performance goals
IMT-Advanced specifications not yet fully defined
IEEE 802.16m will mirror IMT-Advanced requirements
Mobile WiMAX Rel 1.5 and LTE have comparable performance
Both use OFDMA in the DL with higher order modulation and coding
Peak performance is similar for same modulation and code rate
Both support FDD and TDD with channel BWs up to 20 MHz
Both support higher order MIMO antenna solutions
Both offer reduced latency
But Mobile WiMAX has ~2 year time lead and a…
A flat e2e network architecture optimized for high speed data
Throughput & spectral efficiency target for Mobile WiMAX Rel 2.0 will further
enhance key performance parameters
Mobile WiMAX Rel 2.0 is backwards compatible with Rel 1.0 & Rel 1.5
Comparable investment to upgrade 2G/3G network to LTE or Mobile WiMAX
New spectrum required for either LTE or WiMAX to support wider channel BW
Multi-Band/Multi-Mode subscriber devices required in either case for internetwork
connectivity and global roaming
Upgrade to Mobile WiMAX provides operators a significant time-to-market
advantage
